Epilogue: Baby

You meet with this suitor and your adoptive mother gives you space. You find him intelligent and spend hours talking about astrophysics.

You meet with him many times in the coming months as it's clear your mother was right about your compatibility. In a year's time, you've detailed a method for space exploration and received a ring of engagement.

You run yourself ragged, working on both your scientific endeavors and wedding planning, but with the resources at your disposal, both advance quickly. Soon, your wedding comes and gives way to your wedding night. Your husband is gentle, though it matters little to you. You're buried far too deep for him to hit. You do, however, get a tickle once a plume of semen jets into your cavern.

That's when things get difficult. Whether it was from your wedding night or any night since, Eirene does get pregnant. Of course, you know first; it's right beside you, growing. You're not sure how to handle it.
